Lego's next Cuusoo set will be the Mars rover Curiosity, currently exploring the Red planet.
This set has been modified very little from the original winning submission. It contains about 300 pieces and will retail for around €30. This will be a must have for my collection!:)0 -
Ah god dammit what a stupid day...
I am expecting my delivery from Lego.com Waited up until 15:00 and no sign. So I gone to town on business ( lego business too lol ). Came back home after 45min and got a note "sorry, we missed you! :mad:. To make it even worse the note was most likely written by a monkey as I cannot even figure out the deate of pick up on a note. Its like... not even numbers, but some sort of caveman drawings. I will try my luck buy poping in to depot at around 17:00, see where it will get me. I really hope I can pick it up today and not monday.
As for me lego trip in to town. I finally got some decent containers for Lego. 22eu in total. 3.5eu for smaller flat containers and 7.5eu for towers. I will try to get misses to pick up one more tower after work as she works 2 mins away from heatons.
I poped in in to a local toy shop. Its small, but has some lego. I have to say going inside the shop and seeing all those amazing boxes is so much cooler then buying stuff online. Its a shame prices are way higher then RRP as it is small local toy shop. I was surprised to see mk2 crane for 169.99eu though! If its not gone after holidays I will try to get it.

I was really meh, when I found out about that rover.... Didnt we had already that Satellite yoke? There were way cooler projects.
The Restaurant does really look cool. Would be my first modular if I could afford to dip in to Modular world.
Lads, what would be your opinion on getting one of these things for filler bricks? I need a good amount of Red/Black/White bricks like that. Other colours would be a bonus. When I tried to get something decent in bricklinks, the price went through the roof! This on the other hand looks like a savage value. I know those are not fancy bricks, but I need those too. I got 15eu off with VIP points, so it would be perfect.

P.S. I picked up one of each of those boxes again. Looks like I took the last ones. all of them fit perfectly in the corner of my Mancave. 0 -
So, I got my containers that I wanted. I decided to finally take apart some of my display Technic sets for mocs. As much as I love them on display and "WOOOOOW" of people who see it for the first time, I think I will have a lot more fun with it if I will break it apart and make mocs! :pac:
I decided to take these apart. 4x4 and 8070 ar my favourite display pieces, but they are one of the best part sources for what I want. And I want RC cars!
With all this broken up and a few parts I bought already last year, I will have:
1x medium motor
2x large motors
2x xl large motors
1x Servo
2x controller
2x IR receivers V2
It will take me few days to break it up I guess. Lotr movie is on and off I go for tonight!

Well, I had 2 busy evenings. In fairness, my fingers hurt at thisstage. Taking apart Technic sets is not very easy. you cant just throw it at tha wall and then pick up pieces. :pac:
Sort of hard to believe all this came out only from 3 sets... Now I put stuff the way it made sense to me and trying to maximise container space. Now it makes sense to me, but to any intellegent life form it will look stupid lol.
So hopefully I will start building stuff with it now.

Are the brick separators any use for Technic sets? I have a few spares, you're welcome to one if you want it.0 -

Technic sets are way more difficult taking apart then normal Lego. With normal Lego you can just break off slabs and then just shave off few pieces at the time. Technic sets are very strong structures and you need to look for weak points and take it apart piece by piece. Lots of beams and pins in crapy position. Really hard on your finger tips.
Brick separator is pretty much useless. It's only okay to take out some pins and beams from behind, but if you better of just using another beam to push out. Much more comfortable and easier due to shape.0 -

Okay, but I found my little technique a bit more efficient.
I just take 2x of these bricks and put one on top and another one on bottom of two 2x1 stuck together.
Then you just separate them, but dont push it too hard, it actually works better with less force you use.0 -
I did not think much about that Lego movie, but I checked a few trailers and the actual sets and I am completely turned around. I am sort of looking forward to both now!
Really like these ones:
